No vessel not proceeding under United States naval or other United States authorized supervision shall enter or navigate the waters of the said Maritime Control Areas except during daylight, when good visibility conditions prevail, and then only after specific permission has been obtained.

These regulations may be supplemented by regulations of the local United States naval authority as necessary to meet local cir- cumstances and conditions. 5. Should any vessel or person within the said Areas disregard these regulations, or regulations issued pursuant hereto, or fail to obey an order of the United States naval authority, or perform any act threat- ening the efficiency of mine or other defenses, or take any action therein inimical to the deftese of the United States, such vessel or person may be subjected to the force necessary to require complii ncle, and may be liable to detention or arrest, or penalties or forfeiture, in accordance with law.
